Each song in Closer Than Ever is a story; an intimate, insightful tale about love, security and happiness – and holding onto them in a world that pulls you in a hundred different directions at once. Maltby and Shire bring their celebrated craft and contemporary sensibility to songs about aging, mid-life crisis, second marriages, and role reversals with parents, wicked satirical jabs at Muzak, working couples and unrequited love.
Winner of the 1989 Outer Critics Circle Award
